posted Mar 12th, 2007 - Round 6 of the Valentine's Meet 2007 completed the competition for the teams that did not participate in the money meet, which went over ten rounds. The three AA Class and two A Class teams were finished after six rounds, as well as Arizona Directe and Arizona Divewerkz in the AAA Class.

The competition in the AA Class had quite a dramatic finish. All three teams were separated by only two points after five rounds. The tension was apparently high and even visible on the videos.

Down 5, with Eric Gin as the player coach, was the leader by one single point. Down 5 knew that Black Ice, with Todd Hawkins leading the team, would most likely be charging for the one missing point. Down 5 had to deal with a time-consuming brainlock at the beginning of the jump and managed to bring a 9-pointer to the finish line.

Black Ice did what was expected and posted the highscore with a 10-pointer. Result of the 6-round battle was eventually a tied finish for both teams in 1st place with 49 points and an 8.2 meet average.

Ficken Chuckers, with Andy Honigbaum in the player coach position, was also in striking distance for the 1st place after five rounds. However, the team had to go through an even longer brainlock situation in the most important jump of the meet and ended up four points behind in 3rd place. Donkey Punch won the first A Class competition of the 2007 season with a 5.0 average and has taken the top position of the A Class leaderboard.

The raw scores of Round 6 in the AAA Class do not tell the complete story. All three top teams, Airspeed Odyssey, France Maubeuge and Perris Fury completed 21 points within working time. Each jump still had its own drama.

Perris Fury obviously did not receive all 21 points as the official score. Two points were left in the judging room, and the NSL audience is once again welcome to find the infringements and discuss them in the NSL Forum.

The Perris team kept up with the pace of Airspeed Odyssey and France Maubeuge in this round. Odyssey was a little bit faster than the other two teams and might have come very close to the completion of the 22nd scoring formation, the Turf at the end of Block 3.

However, three Odyssey members detected a wrong picture of the Phalanx after approx. 30 seconds and waited patiently for an extra second until the mistake was fixed. The lost second would probably not have changed the final score of 21 points.
